Review his medical record and validate the data.

B.
Assume that the last reading was a mistake and ignore it.

C.
Tell the nursing team that the patient’s condition is deteriorating.

Put the patient on medication to reduce his blood pressure.

Answer 1

A because they can’t just ignore and his condition isn’t deteriorating just because it’s high and she shouldn’t put him on blood pressure meds unless it gets worse
